Crowds of residents and visitors have started flocking to Global Village, now that it’s open for its 27th season.
When the KT team checked out the park at 5.30pm on Wednesday, it was already packed. As the evening wore on, the destination became even busier, with many trying out all the new attractions.
With over 250 food and beverage outlets, Global Village has always been a food lover’s paradise.
“This is a great place for restaurants to test the waters before setting up an outlet in Dubai,” said Jaki Ellenby, executive director of marketing for the attraction.
“We have had a lot of brands that first started here and then went on to become extremely popular restaurants in the city.”
Here is a list of six must-try food items at the Global Village this year:
For the first time ever, Global Village is hosting a Michelin-starred chef’s restaurant within its premises. Khaojee brings celebrated chef Rohit Ghai’s incredible culinary skills to town. The Aloo Tikki chaat is a perfect amalgamation of spicy, tangy and sweet flavours to start a party in your mouth.
Crab meat mixed with generous amounts of cheese, heated to perfection so that the cheese is melted into a dish, is every seafood lover’s dream come true.
